A grown-up woman who has a relationship with a man will either provide enough sex so this is not an issue or be a lady and look the other way. Seriously, may as well ask her man to stop breathing. The problem is that many women these days have years, but never have grown up. (Not any better on the male side of things...).
Unless someone is seriously mentally ill, they do not mix up fiction and reality. Not when it comes to video games, not when it comes to porn, not when it comes to laser tag.
Naaa, that could lead to inconvenient questions who is responsible for _that_ and if fixed, it could lead to a non-distracted population that actually notices how self-centered, incompetent and evil politicians actually are.
Utah has the highest consumption rate of porn, and there really hasn't been a good explanation for it.
Sexual repression. May as well try to stop breathing. The problem is that they want to control their own urges by suppressing and outlawing it for everybody. That is utterly evil. Basically some kind of externalized self-hatred where sufferers feel they must smite/kill/oppress all others that do what they hate in themselves.
Very likely. Porn, drugs, homosexuality, etc., the most extreme crusaders against these things are more often than not right in the camp they claim to fight. It is some kind of pathological externalized self-hatred they are suffering from.
Quite possible. Give them an obvious (if wrong) target and they ignore the larger evil that is going on. Who cares if more women are raped as a result, as long as they claim to ban porn to bring down rapes, they must be doing something good, right?
Fact is people are not perfect and need their vices. Sure, overdoing is a problem, but state-directed prohibition does not work, it can only make things worse.
Very much this. Add the strange "pro-rape" coalition that many feminists have formed into the mix, and the only thing you can call this is "evil". It tries to enforce a "morality" that does massive harm, just because of some fantasies that doe not accurately describe reality at all.
There is and from multiple sources. The problem is that it says what the prohibitionists are doing is actually quite harmful and increases rape and other problems. In addition, they often think they are on a mission from "God" (or against male dominance) and if they would admit the facts, it would not only look like they are exceptionally stupid, but outright malicious. Hence this evil and harmful crusade continues, like some other ones do.
This is not a rational thing on the side of the prohibitionists. They simply claim that "God" told them porn was bad, so it obviously must be the truth.
Nobody has proof for this, because it does not exist. Even the claim that pornography is harmful to children does not have proof because it is mostly wrong and primary fueled by dark and restrictive religious ideas. The only known harm is that they may feel inadequate, but that can be counteracted by explaining to them that what they see are athletes doing a performance and that what is displayed in bodies is not average at all and that normal sex is quite a bit different.
The fact of the matter is that teenagers that are interested in it have had access to porn since forever and that those that are not interested in it (in particular younger children) simply ignore it.
While you probably meant to be funny, this is one of the characteristics of a free society: Some level of crime. A characteristic of a police-state is that the police can go after most crime (and will become more and more like the criminals in the process but never gets punished for their crimes). Freedom comes at a price, but human history shows that it is a worthwhile one to pay and the price of the alternatives is far, far higher. To maintain freedom, the police must be severely limited in what they can do and be restricted to their original task: To keep crime at a level that society still functions. Suppressing drugs, putting teenagers in jail that send pictures of themselves to others, arresting prostitutes, making sure the prisons stay full, etc. are all not part of that task.
Considering that "weed" is less harmful that alcohol, nicotine, medication abuse and things like sugar and fat and even stress or lack of exercise, that is how it should be. The whole "War on Drugs" is utterly irrational and far more harmful than what it fights. Of course, a lot of people have careers in continuing this insanity (including the DEA, the prison industry and the legal industry) and the public has now been lied to for so long that it is really hard bringing rationality back in.
Your argument would indicate the market and its customer-base has a huge value once established (and I agree). That would be an argument against a scam by the admins.
While I have no personal experience with this type of market, they have to have some arbitration mechanism where the money goes through the market itself. That will involve queuing and a sizable amount of cash in the hands of the market itself at any time, and especially when they still accept payments but do not send them onwards. My guess would be that this can be a lot if it takes hours to days for the users to notice. The second additional possibility is that the market offered to anonymize Bitcoin (by mixing them) for the customers and that will be based on some kind of wallet you pay into in advance, as it requires a pool of Bitcoin that retains its content for some time.
Still, technical problems, the feds, gotten hacked, etc. are all valid contenders for this thing going down, it is far too early to cry "scam!".
Must have been some secret mission and they forgot the camera. Stupid on NASA's part, but even more stupid on the part of the people that think this is aliens.
No, actually not. But they are very bad about saying that. The issue is that they want to look law-enforcement-friendly, because they hope then governments will buy their phones. At the same time, a backdoor would prevent those sales reliably. So they are wobbling around. This is nothing but a slow corporate suicide. A pity, because they had a significantly superior OS on their phones and some pretty nice hardware too.
And for the love of all things holy, who is stupid enough to fly a drone near an airport???
If it was a drone. If so, probably the same morons that try to temporarily blind pilots with lasers. Both are not very dangerous, but both are dangerous enough that they should get the idiots responsible a few $1000 in fines and, for repeat offenders, a few weeks behind bars. That may have some effect.

Troll or stupid? Slashdot has become a puzzle-site these days...

Indeed.

The larger question is what utter morons put such an evil person in power.
Quite possible. Give them an obvious (if wrong) target and they ignore the larger evil that is going on. Who cares if more women are raped as a result, as long as they claim to ban porn to bring down rapes, they must be doing something good, right?

My money is on spy satellite or the like doing maneuvering. The ISS is a big, juicy reference point.
Must have been some secret mission and they forgot the camera. Stupid on NASA's part, but even more stupid on the part of the people that think this is aliens.
It is just a 50 person sample. They are talking perfect accuracy for that sample, but that does not mean a lot, the sample is far too small for that.
You are deranged.
So lets not talk about how you are full of shit and utterly clueless?
No, actually not. But they are very bad about saying that. The issue is that they want to look law-enforcement-friendly, because they hope then governments will buy their phones. At the same time, a backdoor would prevent those sales reliably. So they are wobbling around. This is nothing but a slow corporate suicide.

This is not about the FAA. This is about the press stirring up a drone-panic. Flying drones in Airport space is already illegal, that is quite enough.
And for the love of all things holy, who is stupid enough to fly a drone near an airport???
If it was a drone. If so, probably the same morons that try to temporarily blind pilots with lasers. Both are not very dangerous, but both are dangerous enough that they should get the idiots responsible a few $1000 in fines and, for repeat offenders, a few weeks behind bars.

Funny, when in actual reality it is you that is trying to con people into harming themselves.
